Coding Addresses
(Original Document)
About us
General
The address is coded on dip-switches situated above the connector, which are used to connect to the Fipio bus. These dip-switches, of which there are 8, enable binary coding within the limits given below:
Type of processor
Max no. of TBX addresses
TBX addresses
IP20 monobloc
IP20 modular
IP65 monobloc
TSX P57 154
62
1 to 31
1 to 62
TSX P57 •54
TSX PCI 57 •54
127
1 to 31
1 to 62, 64 to 127
WARNING
UNEXPECTED SYSTEM BEHAVIOR
Do check the addresses of the devices to ensure:
  • That the connection point number of the device on the Fipio bus is unique,
  • That this number corresponds to the number in the configuration.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
TBX Monobloc IP20
Addressing a TBX Discrete monobloc IP20 device (31 devices maximum per architecture).
The following diagram shows the coding of the device at address 15.
NOTE: As the 3 most important dip-switches (on the left) are inactive, their position is not important.
TBX Monobloc IP65
Coding the Fipio address for the TBX IP65.
Starting up the TBX only requires the address of the devices to be coded using the switches inside the TBX BLP 10 (numbered from 1 to 99 inclusive) according to the following diagram:
The following table shows examples of various possible addresses on the rows of micro-contacts:
Least significant switch
Value
Most significant switch
Value
1
16
2
32
3
48
Example: To obtain address 37 (5 + 32), the micro-contacts should be coded as follows:
Modular TBX
Addressing a modular TBX device (126 devices maximum per architecture).
The following diagram shows the coding of the device at address 62.
